--onto does not affect the cherry-pick detection. When running

	git rebase --onto new-base upstream feature

any commits in upstream have been cherry-picked from feature they will 
not be rebased. What it does not do is look for cherry-picks in 
onto...feature. It would be nice to add that but I'm not sure it is 
straight forward to do so and still exclude commits that have been 
cherry-picked from feature to upstream.

Best Wishes
